It’s rare to be able to predict several days of good soaring here in SE PA but that’s what we are looking at. All five days should provide cloudbases at 6,000 – 7,000 ft and only Wednesday has enough wind (NW15 – 20 kt) to be a factor. QV May 11 1245Z

Hi, this is Dave, I’m hi-jacking ‘From the Backseat’ to talk about an issue we need to be carful about on the ground. Ticks and Lyme. We spend a lot of time on the ground and ticks are going to be exceptionally abundant this year. Why? Because 2015 was a mast year for oak trees. Huh?! … Read more
Did you know that you never need to take another biennial flight review. When I first earned my private certificate, if I wasn’t interested in a higher rating, I never needed to fly with another flight instructor, ever again. Many pilots flew that way. After all, once I earned my driver’s license, I didn’t need … Read more
